So, why are organizations so unsure about using SMS as an effective communication tool?
![Page 7: How to solve sms mystery](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58ad085f1a28ab0b408b5301/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Software fees range from $0 to $800

SMS is a commodity, high volume drives low pricing

So, what is the mystery?
Organizations’ misunderstanding of
SMS players and
their ROLES in the industry.
![Page 13: How to solve sms mystery](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58ad085f1a28ab0b408b5301/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Who are the Players in SMS industry?
Wireless Carriers
Aggregators
Application Providers
Governing Body
have direct connections to wireless carriers mBlox, SAP, Open Market, AMD, etc.
have direct connections to aggregators and buys SMS in bulk 2sms, EZTexting, Twillio, Tatango, Trumpia, etc.
have connections to mobile subscribers Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint, etc.
sets industry rules and regulations on behalf of wireless carriers Neustar, CTIA, MMA, etc.
![Page 15: How to solve sms mystery](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58ad085f1a28ab0b408b5301/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
So you want to connect directly to Wireless Carriers
Wireless carriers make it VERY DIFFICULT to connect directly to them as a single company. It’s not worth it to the wireless carriers to manage a small chunk of SMS traffic.
Why can’t I bypass Aggregators?
• A typical major US wireless carrier
charges up to $2.5 Million Monthly connection fee
• Approximately 83 wireless carriers are
listed as carriers who own and manage
their network equipment and facilities in
the United States
![Page 16: How to solve sms mystery](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58ad085f1a28ab0b408b5301/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
They don’t pay $2.5 million..… A handful of Aggregators won the lottery, they were at the right place at the right time….
How much do aggregators make after paying $2.5 million monthly bill to each Wireless Carrier?
• Wireless carriers gave them the connections for
almost free
• Aggregators share the revenue from Premium
content (ringtones, wallpapers, subscriptions,
songs)
wireless carriers are moving away from supporting Premium content as of 2014
![Page 17: How to solve sms mystery](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58ad085f1a28ab0b408b5301/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Absolutely. Connecting to an Aggregator directly is bit cumbersome, but doable.
Contact me directly at 1-877-276-7266 or
[email protected] and I can give you a
rundown on how to select a decent aggregator and
build a bind to connect to their gateway.
Can I bypass an Application Provider?
![Page 18: How to solve sms mystery](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58ad085f1a28ab0b408b5301/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Wireless Carriers created a 3rd party governing body to regulate and monitor the industry (application/content providers)
Revenue is generated by leasing and
administering shortcodes to companies
who distribute content (campaigns)
Who created the Governing Body?
They won the lottery too. Imagine being able to charge $500 to $1,500 per month for each number you
create…..and every content provider HAVE to lease a number in order to send commercial SMS…… it’s raining money.
![Page 19: How to solve sms mystery](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58ad085f1a28ab0b408b5301/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How Do I Choose?
![Page 20: How to solve sms mystery](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58ad085f1a28ab0b408b5301/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
It all boils down to each organizations’
business requirement
Connect to Wireless Carriers
Connect to Aggregators
Connect to Application Providers
Best for DYI (Do IT Yourself) warriors Per SMS cost range 0.001 cent to 3 cents Fast throughput, scalable 500,000+ SMS per month

Rules are to protect the mobile subscribers
SMS Campaign?All SMS alerts initiated by organizations must have an approved campaign, it’s like a building permit, you submit an application and wait for the approval. Not complicated but each campaign needs to be approved by wireless carriers
HELP and STOP?Your subscribers are fickle and forgetful. Response to HELP refreshes their memory and “why” they are receiving SMS from you. Response to STOP must be honored and never… ever… never… ever… send SMS to Opt Out mobile subscriber, unless they Opt In again.
Opt-In to receive SMS?SMS is a permission based, that means your audience has to sign up to receive SMS from you. Governing body such as CTIA and MMA set rules and regulations according to wireless carrier’s T’s&C’s
Wireless carrier’s want to make sure you are not SPAMing
